Donate

The Oklahoma Zoological Society was created to support and promote the Oklahoma City Zoo and its mission to be Oklahoma’s premier destination connecting people and our world’s vanishing wildlife and wild places. There are several ways for you to help!

End of Year Giving and General Donations

Please consider making a year-end gift to the ZOOfriends general donation fund that will help us focus on providing support for our highest priority needs and programs.

ZOOfund for Kids

Give to the fund that provides educational opportunities at the Zoo for underprivileged children who would not otherwise be able to afford them. OZS wants to ensure that any person, regardless of ability to pay, is given the opportunity to have an exciting and memorable conservation education experience. OZS awards scholarships to schools and organizations to help defray the cost of Oklahoma City Zoo education classes and activities. ZOOfund for Kids has reached more than 380,000 participants since its inception in 1997.

Species Survival Plan

The Zoo works with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and other wildlife institutions to participate in Species Survival Plans (SSP). SSPs are a collective effort from these institutions to ensure the survivability of species from around the world. Through breeding programs and population management, SSPs seek to establish healthy, self-sustaining animal populations that are genetically diverse and demographically stable. Currently the Oklahoma City Zoo is working with 54 endangered or threatened species and 45 SSPs.

Animal Adoptions

Become an active part of the Oklahoma City Zoo’s animal kingdom by adopting an animal. Adopt any animal of your choice with a donation of $30 or more or adopt one of our feature animals, bison or zebra, with a $45 donation. This program helps offset daily expenses of caring for the wide range of wild children that proudly call the Oklahoma City Zoo their home.
